Shocker

 

[AZ Native]

Any surprise here?

My parents insisted I stay until the end in order to build character or some crap. I husked corn until my hands were bloody when I was 8, too.

Growing up in the Midwest in the 80s was crazy, man!

I grew up in the 60’s/70’s in Syracuse, NY. Pretty much snowed every day. I was the only boy, and had 7 sisters. It was my job to shovel snow. Homework was done as soon as we walked in the door. I went to Catholic schools my whole life, so we had homework every day. As soon as homework was done, I headed out to shovel the sidewalk & driveway. Called in to eat dinner at 6 pm exactly. After dinner, back outside to shovel. And you kept shoveling because the snow kept coming down. Came back in around 9 pm, took a shower, and then off to bed. Just a typical winter day in Syracuse.

Can I like this 1,000 times?

Payton probably already said no.

We were never in the running. He will pick where he wants to go and it was never with us.

 

[TheCardFan]

I am leaning toward Jim Harbaugh at this point.

Ejiro Evero is very interesting and I would put Ryans right after him.

 

[Zalixar]

Payton and Brady team up in 2023 season if Chargers/Rams job is closed and finish the last year on his contract. Brady would have gone there if Brees had retired. They get one year together.

Cards keep the interim GM's and Kliff next year and do a full swipe the following season if it doesn't work out.

(Spoiler, it won't).

Then we'll see what happens then. I think a small chance he comes here if everything lines up right.

Otherwise I wouldn't mind Ryans from 9ers. Not bad to pluck from a rival. Problem is he will be a hot commodity and may be gone after this year.

Me thinks McVay retires knowing the Rams are in trouble. Sean Payton salivates and takes the job.

The Cards are shafted as usual, we settle for leftovers and/or keep KK. Promote GM internally.

If the Rams are in trouble, why would Payton take the job?

Dude, seriously. I'm a darksider right now (I guess), but Sean Payton has zero interest in taking over for Sean McVay, who has exhibited success to the point of a championship, with an aging QB and zero assets. Someone can sell me on the concept of him coaching the Chargers, but the Rams have burned out any hope, outside of their current leadership.

And I think the Rams will be plenty competitive next year, anyways, especially in this division.

I think there’s a solid chance we don’t see McVay, Donald, Stafford, & Ramsey on the Rams next season. Due to either retirement(first 3 names) or trade. Doubt they’ll be competitive.

Why would McVay retire? I think that was just SuperBowl hogwash talk, similar to Donald’s at the time.. he’s not retiring anytime within the next decade

I don't think this eliminates us.

Firstly because it looks like Keim is gone but mainly because despite everyone being down this season this franchise has proven it can win with it's current ownership. Over the past 10 years we have 14th best winning record in the NFL. Better than many other teams looking for HC's.

In fact I don't think there is a team looking for a HC that has a better winning record over the last 10 years.

Agreed. Ram's are not a hot commodity.

O line is a mess. Donald likely or nearing retiring. WR issues outside Kupp and no draft capital or cap space to fix it.

In fact it's the exact same situation he left the Saints over.

It’s very strange that you equate w/l over the past 10 years with functional leadership.

They’re maybe related (functional leadership is often a predicate for success on the field), but that’s not how you measure functional leadership.

The whole speculation on L.A deal, or even us is that he wants to work/stay in the area of where he lives (which is L A.).

Chargers are pretty poorly run but they have a star QB and other pieces. Rams, not so much, but it'll be his to build (possibly). Who knows if McVay wants a full rebuild.

It's not at all strange when you read the quote and see that he is equating functional leadership with the ability to win. Which we have done.

He says he doesn't want to go to an Org where his ability to win is handcuffed. That isn't here.

Weirdly nobody was complaining about Mike's leadership abilities when we went to a Superbowl or when BA was here. Funny that.

Mike can be a problem, but not to the extent that he would stop someone like Payton winning. Or any head coach. In fact Mike has shown that he's willing to take leaps of faith and risks to give his HC's what they need.

Mike's issues are entrenched in meddling in things that should be left solely to a GM. I can't think of anything he's done that would get in the way of any HC doing what they want to do.

He's a helicopter parent, not a Tiger Mom.

I trudged 10 miles on snowshoes to school in the dead of winter, carrying my books and a log for the stove that kept us from freezing.

It was uphill both ways.

Takes a special perspective to equate winning with one playoff victory and “we’re #14!” as your battle cry.
